This image displays the Crumar MojoPedals 13-Note MIDI Pedalboard from an angled perspective. The unit features 13 velocity-sensitive pedals, with a mix of black and brown keys. The top panel includes a three-digit LED display, 'DOWN', 'UP', and 'FUNCTION' buttons, and input/output ports labeled 'EXPRESSION PEDAL', 'MIDI OUT', and 'USB-MIDI -POWER-'. The 'MOJOPEDALS' logo is prominently displayed on the right side of the control panel.

การตั้งค่า

  1. การแกะกล่อง: Carefully remove the MojoPedals from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage. Retain the packaging for future transport or storage.
  2. การเชื่อมต่อไฟฟ้า: Connect a standard USB-B cable to the 'USB-MIDI -POWER-' port on the MojoPedals. Connect the other end to a compatible USB power supply (e.g., a cell phone charger) or a computer. The unit will power on automatically.
  3. MIDI Output Connection: Connect a standard 5-pin MIDI cable from the 'MIDI OUT' port on the MojoPedals to the MIDI input of your synthesizer, sound module, or computer interface.
  4. แป้นเหยียบควบคุมเสียง (อุปกรณ์เสริม): If using an external expression pedal, connect it to the 'EXPRESSION PEDAL' TRS port. Ensure the expression pedal is compatible with MIDI CC output.
  5. Initial MIDI Channel Setup: For optimal compatibility with many devices, ensure your receiving MIDI device is set to MIDI Channel 1. The MojoPedals typically transmits on Channel 1 by default. Refer to your receiving device's manual for MIDI channel configuration.

คำแนะนำการใช้งาน

The MojoPedals offers intuitive control over your MIDI setup. Familiarize yourself with the main components:

  • 13 Velocity-Sensitive Pedals: These pedals transmit MIDI note-on/note-off messages with velocity information. Play them as you would organ bass pedals.
  • จอแสดงผล LED: The three-digit LED display indicates the current octave transposition or other function parameters.
  • 'DOWN' Footswitch: Decreases the current octave or navigates menu options downwards.
  • 'UP' Footswitch: Increases the current octave or navigates menu options upwards.
  • 'FUNCTION' Footswitch: Activates special functions such as cycling through patches, transposing keys, or entering configuration modes. Consult the full Crumar MojoPedals manual for detailed function assignments.

การดำเนินงานที่สำคัญ:

  • Octave Transposition: Use the 'DOWN' and 'UP' footswitches to shift the pedalboard's octave range. The LED display will show the current octave setting. You can hold a note and then use the footswitches; the octave change will apply to subsequent notes played.
  • Patch Cycling: The 'FUNCTION' footswitch can be configured to cycle through patches on your connected MIDI device without requiring manual intervention from your hands.
  • Key Transposition: The 'FUNCTION' footswitch may also be used to transpose the played notes up or down in semitone increments.
  • การควบคุมแป้นเหยียบควบคุมการแสดงออก: An attached expression pedal will typically send MIDI Continuous Controller (CC) messages, often assigned to volume (CC#7) or other parameters, depending on the receiving device's configuration. The TRS expression pedal port allows for selectable MIDI CC numbers.
  • Rotary Speaker Control: When connected to a Crumar Mojo Dual or Mojo 61, the MojoPedals can directly control the instrument's internal rotary speaker simulator, eliminating the need for a separate footswitch.

การซ่อมบำรุง

  • การทำความสะอาด: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the MojoPedals. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp สามารถใช้ผ้าชุบน้ำสบู่อ่อนๆ เช็ดตามด้วยผ้าแห้ง หลีกเลี่ยงน้ำยาทำความสะอาดหรือตัวทำละลายที่มีฤทธิ์กัดกร่อน
  • พื้นที่จัดเก็บ: Store the unit in a dry environment, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. If storing for extended periods, consider using the original packaging or a protective case.
  • การดูแลทั่วไป: Avoid spilling liquids on the unit. Do not place heavy objects on the pedals or control panel. Ensure cables are connected and disconnected carefully to prevent damage to ports.
